1 We all love this nearby hike - it has lots of adventure, starting with a stream crossing followed by enormous Cook pines.
2 Sun popped out despite clouds on the windward side.
3 I like this shot, Dave.
4 Just to give you a sense of the immensity. These trees were brought here by Capt John Cook and planted to be used as masts. You can easily see why. I usually confuse them with Norfolk pines, but today I finally saw the difference :)
5 The camera often struggles with the contrasty light but this shot is quite nice.
6 Ben hiked it all on his own! "Ben walk! Ben walk!" The "puppy harness" saved him from more than a few face plants.
7 The so-called "Jackass Ginger Pool" - a donkey used to be tied up by this pool, as the story goes. It's a neat place to chill.
8 Kids jump in the pool on summer afternoons.
9 Tall Daddy looking down at Sammy.
10 Heading down to the Jackass Ginger Pools - a fun place to take a dip in the summer.
11 Nice panorama of the dense foliage and sun peeking through. We had lunch at Lanikai Juice afterwards. Thanks for a great morning, hubby!
